Joe Cirincione writes, "The U.S.-India pact has been hailed as a triumph. It was just the opposite. It is hard to overstate what a mistake this was. India has now been granted all the privileges of a recognized nuclear-weapons state but with none of the responsibilities. The other two nuclear-armed nations outside the treaty, Pakistan and Israel, are sure to demand equal treatment; other nations, like Japan, may reconsider their nuclear options. Georgetown University School of Foreign Service dean Robert Gallucci [2] says the deal will "open the door to the true proliferation of nuclear weapons in the years ahead." The danger in South Asia seems especially high.
